Acer Liquid E Ferrari Special Edition Smartphone

Filed under: Gadgets

Looking for the Ferrari of mobile phones? Ferrari itself has come up with a few, all made by different manufacturers. This is the latest, and probably the most advanced.

The Liquid E is made by Acer, Ferrari's technological partner that already produces a line of special laptops for the Italian sportscar-maker and racing team. With a 3.5-inch touchscreen, Snapdragon processor and 5-megapixel digital camera, the Liquid E is no slouch, but for the Ferrari special edition it's been upgraded with a special red case, Prancing Horse badge surrounded by carbon fiber trim, a microphone cutout designed after the air intake on the side of a Scuderia Ferrari F1 car, and in all likelihood a variety of Ferrari-themed wallpapers, icons, screen savers and ring-tones. It also comes with a matching Bluetooth earpiece.

No word on pricing just yet as it's just been unveiled, but expect that to be suitably Ferrari-inspired as well.

Lying somewhere in the thin-and-light category between the well-defined netbook and the traditional full-featured notebook is the new Acer Ferrari One. The latest installation of the successful partnership between the famous Italian supercar manufacturer and Acer America, there isn't really anything exceptional about the computer other than the bright red color and matching Prancing Horse badge on the lid.

Still, it's a well-equipped 3.31-pound laptop with (take a deep breathe) an AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor, ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics, 4GB of DDR2 667MHz system memory, a 250 GB hard disk, an 11.6-inch HD widescreen display and Windows 7 Home Premium.

If the lure of the latest Ferrari-badged Acer is too much for you to handle, the Ferrari One notebook is available now with a starting price one cent shy of $600. Feel free to peruse the official press release after the break.
